Weird projectile motion question

How is at possible that a particle is projected with the same speed from the same point able to follow the same trajectory both ways but hit a different point on the wall?

Same speed isn't the same thing as same velocity. Two projectiles launched from the same point with the same speed but different angles will follow different trajectories, as they start off with different velocities.
